Bill Nxe and Eis Work.

A literary character who has come to
us from the west is making his way in
popularity. Edgar William Nye, as his
parents called him before he gave him.
self the simpler name of Bill Nye, has in
all probability the largest daily mail of
any newspaper man IN New York. His let
tiers are mainly from humorist cranks,
newly developed fraternity of fools who
send him long pieces in as close imitation
of his own writings as they are able to
produce. These are sent neither for pub
LEGATION nor, as he says, ''as an evidence
of good faith. but simply, as it appears,
to let the funny man know that others
can be as funny as himself, or at least can
try to be.
Bill Nye looks exactly like the pictures
that are made as caricatIIreS of him. He
has enough hair at each side of his head
for an affidavit that he is not bald, but
the whole top of his head and his face
are hairless. He is tall and heavy, but
as ungraceful as Mark Twain. He is in
the neighborhood Of Al or AZ, has a wife
and boy, and lives in more than mere
comfort in an uptown brown stone house.
His salary is 500 a week, and he has
contracted to write only for one journal
He produces two articles-always one for
Sunday and shorter one for the middle
of the week and this he considers en-
ioying a vacation. Before he came to
New York he wrote something almost
every day. He makes acquaintance
slowly, but is exceedingly liked by all
who know him, mainly because he is
thoroughly democratic and plain in his
manners.-New York Cor. Chicago Her

Description of a Naval Battle.

These who have read the narrative of
the battle between the Guerrero and the
Constitution during the war of 1912 re-
member that the American frigate, al
though it received three broadsides from
the British man-of-war, did not fire until
she had come to close quarters. Then
her fire was SO rapid that in a few min
utes the British ship struck her colors.
The story of the capture. as spoken by a
Frenchman speaking broken English,
sets forth the main points of the engage
ment:
''You see, vas come from Marseilles
with sheepload vine and cognac; vas go
to re Levant trade. By'm-by Capitaine
Dacre he come With Eat Guerrero, and
he TAX my sheep; and he TAX all my
vine an my cognac in he's sheep; me
an my crew he TAX prisoners an he
burn my sheep.
''Pretty soon he say: 'Ah, Capitaine
Dufosse, so look now TO- Eat Yankee
frigate, re Constitution Pretty soon he
see Eat sheep. 'Ah, Capitaine Dufnsse,
he say, I'm goin' tax Eat sheep in
twenty minutes!'
Ven he come up with her he give Won
broadside; br-r-r-r-r-re! Eat Yankee he
say messing; br-r-r-r-r-re! re other broad
side. Re Yankee he no say Messing!
'Tonnere!' / say, what is zat?'
Br-r-r-r7r-re! from re Guerriere. Eat
Yankee he no say Messing.
"Pretty soon when he came close
br-r-r-r-r re! br-r-r-r-r-re! br-r-r-r-r-re!
81 go below. After avile I come on
de deck Capitaine Dacre vas Civ his
sword to Capitainc Hull.
81 say, 'Ah, Ia, Capitaine Dacrc! You
say you goin' tax Eat Yankee friGate in
twenty minutes! He TAX you in tan!' :"

New p.,ice for Catching Nickels.

A new device for catching nickels is
just out, which as novelty eclipses its
aampetitors in weighing machines, minia-
rttf1 steamboats, and locomotives seen
occasionally in hotel lobbies and public
places where people congregate. This
machine is automatic like the others, and
consists of stand of iron three feet high,
supporting square box made Of wood,
two sides being panels of glass to admit
light and enable people to see the thing
work. Inside is sort of miniature
metal wheelbarrow, tipped at an angle OF
about forty-five degrees. AT the top of
the box, directly over the wheelbarrow,
is square cut hole about an inch and
half wide by three inches long, large
enough to enable one to drop a five cent
piece through into slot below, which is
between the two handles Of the barrow
and about quarter of an inch in width.
If the money is poised carefully over the
hole at the top and dropped SO as to fall
into the slot. the owner will see il. roll
into little receptacle on the outside of
the box opposite the end of the barrow,
closely followed by another five cent
piece, which is his prize, besides getting
his first one back. Should it again be
tried and the nickel strike the edges of
the opening, which is about three or four
times its thickness, of course it goes into
the lower part of the inside of the box,
thus adding to the treasury of the owner
of the machine. = New York Evening

A day or two ago Mr.. r. l.. Milan, an
old and respected citizen of Waterford,
Miss, called at The Avalanche Office and
exhibited maidstone that has a history.
1t was brought to Alabama from China
in 1910 by DR.. William Barker, who
used it with success for several years. AT
his death it was sold to Jarvis Milan,
the father of The Avalancl!c's visitor,
and four others. Milan moved to Mis-
sissippi in 1885, and took the stone with
him, having bought out the interest OF
his partners. He died in 1910 and left
the stone to his son. Tho present pro-
.prietor has used it in 1880 cases, foi
bites of rabid dogs, COWS and horses, be-
sides spider and snake bites, and he
asserts that it did not fail to effect q cure
in single instance when applied before
paroxysms had set in.
The stone is porous, of q light cream
color, an inch and quarter in<diameter
and weighs one ounce. 1t has been
broken in five places, and is mended with
silver bands. When person is bitten
the wound is first carefully washed with
warm water, q mop being used to guard
against danger to the operator from in

bound tightly upon the affected part and
left there from two to fifteen hours, ac-
cording to the freshness of the bite-the
older it is the longer the time necessary.
When removed it is found to have alb
sorbed quantity of blood or pus from
the wound, 1t is then washed clean in
warm water and dried before fire or
stove. Mr.. Milan has been offered $4,000
for his treasure, but refuses 10 sell. He
gets d good revenue from it, charging
those patients who are able to pay, but its
virtues are more frequently called into
play to save the lives of unfortunates who
have nothing to give in return. 1t is to
Mr.. Milam's credit that these are never
refused, and that he values the stone
most for the good it does to suffering hui
manity. He is greatly troubled lest at
his death his children should divide it up
and thus destroy its virtue. Memphis

Imnortance of PAPER.

Paper is becoming an important article
to all manufacturers. The latest thing is
the paper coffin. and it bids fair to take
the place of wood, being light, durable
and waterproof. The paper coffin can be
made for few dollars, and, with the
proper veneering, is capable of beauti-
full finish in imitation of any costly wood.
All paper articles have the advantage of
cheapness, while they last about as long
as wooden wares. Manufacturers are
now making paper water buckets and
paper doors. These are very popular.
The doors are waterproof and will not
shrink or crack. For several years past
we have seen paper car wheels and paper
rowing boats. I can t say when the next
innovation will be made, for only the
other day / wiped my mouth on a paper
napkin, and few hours later saw
paper dress imported from Paris. The
clerk told me that French women of the
middle classes were stanch patrons of the
paper dress. 1t will not be long before
we shall be building paper houses, and for
half the money we now pay out for
homes. Professor E. Ell. Smith in Globe

chance to draw strength from the stock
which would otherwise be absorbed by
those which have already good start.
About six tons of cane go to the planting
of an acre. One acre of seed cane will
plant three acres, and as the planting
must be done every third year, one-ninth
of the crop average of plantation must
but be given up to seed cane. When the
seed cane is cut in the fall the stalks are
laid between the rows of stubble and
covered with pillow run on each side.
After the canes are laid and cut, they
are covered with plows or with ma
chine called rotary hoe, and the ground
is then rolled to press the dirt close to the
sprouting eyes, The first crop is called
plant cane Next year the cane sprouts
from the stubble. and is called first
ratoons. The second year it sprouts
again. and is called second ratoons. The
third year the stubble is plowed up nnd
the ground sowed with field peas, wht z
recuperates the land, as clover &a,S
northern farms. The fourth year H
again put in plant cane. A Sood yieI5
to the acre is % tons of plant cAne. 80
of the first ratoons. and Is of second
ratoons. On the upper coast, above
New Orleans, it is customary to let the
stubble ration but once. In Cuba it often
ratoons six successive years, but the cane
becomes constantly more woody and
poorer in saccharine matter.
In the stubble fields the first spring,
work consists in barring off, y or NOV
ing the dirt away from the roots of the
cane with plows and hoes, to permit the
| light and air to hasten the terminating of
the ratoons. By the middle of April
there should be a good stand of the
young sprouts. Then the dirt is worked
back toward the rows, and there is con-
slant cultivation with the pillow till after
the 1st of July, when the crop is Laid
! BY" No more work is done on it till the
| cutting begins in September. Now the
cane Is so high that man driving mule
| is lost to sight between the rows. Soon
it will be tall enough to swallow up a
man on horseback. The rows are usual
ly seven feet apart and always run paral-
lei with the ditches-that is, from the
river or bayou toward the swamp July
and August was formerly the time for
| cutting wood in the swamps to run the
sugar mill during the grinding season,
| but now most plantations burn coal. The
crop being made. the planter feels
that he can relax his vigilance, and if he
has the means, he goes off to the north
with his family to escape the two hottest
months of the year in Louisiana and

climate e. V. Smalley in The Century.
